Standing In for Joe Lyrics


I'm standing, standing in for JoeJoe called 'round to ask me, would I do a favor
While he's gonna be out of town
Says his girl needs company, she gets so restless
Would I keep her safe and soundSoftly, softly, in the night
Well, you can guess the restNow, these shoes fit all too well
Standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe
I'm standing in for JoeJoe said, we've been friends so long
But I would be the one he would trust with his life
Now, those words run 'round my brain
As darkness falls as I turn out his bedroom lightWho could resist her tender charms?
So the story goesThis actor, he plays all the parts
Standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe
Oh, I'm standing in for JoeLove is like a river, you cannot stop its flowJoe called 'round to ask me, would I do a favor
While he's gonna be out of town
Says his girl needs company, she gets so restless
Would I keep check that she's safe and soundSoftly, softly, in the night
Well, you can guess the restNow, these shoes fit all too well
Standing in for Joe, I'm standing in for Joe

Oh yeah, I'm standing in for JoeStanding in for Joe, standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe
Standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe
Standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe
Standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

XTC were an influential rock band (starting out as a post-punk outfit but eventually developing into a sound that was a mix of new wave and alternative/college rock) which formed Swindon, England in 1972. For most of their career, the band consisted of Andy Partridge (vocals, guitar), Colin Moulding (vocals, bass) and Dave Gregory (guitar, keyboards). Gregory replaced founding keyboardist Barry Andrews in 1979 and left himself in 1999.
